Appliances, fittings and flues in a communal area but which may be used by tenants are also included. You are responsible for the maintenance and repair of flues,appliances and pipework provided for your tenants use by a Gas Safe registered engineer .

You are also responsible for ensuring an annual gas safety check is carried out within 12 months of the installation of a new appliance or flue which you provide and annually thereafter by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. You must keep a record of the safety check for 2 years and issue a copy to each existing tenant within 28 days of the check being completed and issue a copy to any new tenants before they move in.

What is a gas safety check?

Faulty gas appliances and fittings and blocked flues can put you at risk of gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide poisoning. A gas safety check will make sure gas fittings and appliances are safe to use. These checks include;

Checking the flue or chimney to make sure the products of combustion (fumes) are being safely removed to outside.

Checking there is an adequate supply of fresh air so the gas burns properly.

Checking the appliance is burning the gas properly.

Checking all safety devices are working properly and shutting the appliance off if a fault occurs
